That Dreadful Day |
| by Danny Fortunato |
The Day will come when we must bid farewell to one another,
And although that day has not yet arrived,
I can, even now feel the pain and sorrow.
I wonder, can you feel it or even see it too?
Do you think these years of happiness was all it was meant to be?
Or is there more to be seen or discovered?
Look at it for one fleeting moment and ask yourself
Are you ready to give this up?
I think about it for a split second and realize,
The girl who put up with me everyday,
Listening to all of my problems, sharing my joy,
And dealing with my weird sense of humor with a warm and comforting smile,
isn’t going to be there anymore.
This is where the sorrow pours in and tears flood my eyes.
Knowing that in an instant a part of my life,
Someone who I cared for more than anything could disappear
without a second glance.
I look ahead a few years and wonder if you actually made it.
If you really became what you wanted.
But then memories arise and I go back to that day,
When the glitter of love shined in our eyes, and all of our dreams
Were a mere breath away.
And as we stood among huge crowds of people, we never felt alone,
Because we knew that we had each other, and we almost made it through.
But then it happened, some force drove us apart.
As I looked at you, and you at me, both of us saying good- bye,
I noticed a single tear of sorrow and remorse
roll from the corner of your eye,
And that’s when I knew in my heart, as we began to fall apart.
We would be seeing each other for the very last time.
